On 26 January, 2010 in the Auditorium of the Georgian National Museum passed presentation of the book “GEORGIAN EASEL PAINTING, Second half of the 18 century to the 1920’s” by Ms. Irina Arsenishvili, the senior conservator of Art Direction of the GNM.

This richly illustrated book presents a study of Georgian easel painting (2^nd half of the 18 century 1^st quarter of the 20^th century) in connection with Russian and European art. The definition of its artistic process is an important problem of modern Georgian art criticism.

Beginning with the renaissance European culture and easel painting have followed a centuries-old path of stylistic evolution and despite the heterogeneous development of European painting, general artistic processes occurred simultaneously in different European countries, in which the historical unity of European paintings is manifested.

On November 20^th the exhibition “Discoveries from Ancient Colchis” will open in The Museum of Mediterranean and Near Eastern Antiquities, Sweden, Stockholm.

The purpose of the first joint exhibition – “Colchian Culture” – organized by the Georgian National Museum and the Stockholm Museum of Mediterranean Culture is to demonstrate, on the basis of archaeological material brought to light in Western Georgia, covering the period of the mid-2nd millennium BC and the entire 1st millennium BC, that Georgia as a country of original culture that maintained intensive cultural  contacts with the Ancient East and Greece, today too constitutes an inseparable part of Western civilization. It is safe to say that Georgia has earned this place thanks to Colchian culture and due to the special interest shown by the Greeks in Colchis in the myth of the Argonauts, and later expressed in their literature and historiography.
